About

I'm Rajat. I build things end to end. Engineering is the backbone, but I care equally about product thinking, design, and making technology feel right for people.

I started out curious, building tools at a fitness-tech startup called Vibranium. That early work taught me to ship fast and learn from real users.

Security tooling came next. I contributed to Mozilla's ssh-scan project, which sharpened my eye for correctness in code that matters.

From there I moved to DE Shaw (Arcesium), building reconciliation systems for financial data. Precision wasn't optional. That environment taught me how to think about correctness at every layer.

I also built the core booking platform at Vedantu, and ran a bootcamp called CodeAsylums where we ran hands-on workshops for kids of all backgrounds, from school to college, teaching them about different CS technologies and how to build things. The builder-plus-teacher instinct has always been there.

I then joined Gojek in Singapore and spent three years working across different focus areas: comms systems, consumer platform, transport, and personalization. That stretch taught me what it means to build at scale for millions of users.

Every team I joined gave me a different lens. Scale, reliability, user empathy. I carry all of them now.

Today I'm at Aampe, building the learning and data engineering systems that power per-user AI agents. Our customers include Deezer, Swiggy, and Blinkist.

How I think

I believe the best builders move fluidly between writing code, shaping product, and refining design. Specialization matters, but so does the ability to see the whole picture.

Outside work

I play a lot of racquet sports. Badminton is the constant, table tennis is the growing obsession. Both keep me sharp and away from a screen for a while.
